Hi Kostbo,
Welcome to Microsoft Answers!
As this is by design of the Windows 7 Operating system, we cannot disable the Auto arrange.
The change in Windows 7 is by design however, if this is something you would like this feature reinstated, please submit your suggestion to:

Mate you mistook windows explorer for internet explorer!..
we are talking about windows explorer, the basic shell interface in Windows OS that enables you to browse files and folders and programmes..
we are NOT talking about internet browsing so mentioning firefox is meaningless and irrelevant
THAT IS WHY I USE FIREFOX
That's not going to solve the auto-arrange issue.
THAT IS WHY I USE FIREFOX
I would like to ask "Divya R" where she gets the gaul to tell people "As this is by design of the Windows 7 Operating system, we cannot disable the Auto arrange". WE are your customers, and WE are demanding you fix this stupid idea. Instead of sending customers to a website to submit "suggestions", you should be opening a support ticket to get this changed IMMEDIATELY! I don't know who's idiot idea this was, but it needs to be fixed YESTERDAY!
This is just so very like Microsoft to put the owness back onto the customer instead of taking ownership of the problem and getting it fixed. We should petition Dictionary.com to use pictures of Microsoft Programmers when people look up the definition of "lazy"
